One more time... the release notes include only fixed problems which were originally reported against Linux in our internal tracker.

Problems which were reported against other OSes and fixed in common code do not appear in the release notes even though the fixes often help Linux users as well. We could spend time going through every fix made in common code and see if it should appear in the Linux release notes but right now we think that time is better spent working on the drivers than on making a bigger list of "hey we fixed this" for the release notes.

I can ask the Catalyst folks to take the driver back down if you like

Detailed change logs are simple when you are dealing with code for a single OS and GPU family, but once you start sharing code across multiple OSes and multiple generations of GPUs (including unreleased hardware) they become kind of impractical.

What happens instead is that the release management team skims through the (thousands of) changes each month, picks out the ones which seem clearly applicable to Linux users, and adds those to the release notes.
